I became interested in this when someone mentioned the corrupt/spoiled attribute, because it suggests that the underlying simulation was deeper than usual (e.g. SlaveMaker, which has some complex script/narrative stuff but which uses fairly simple numeric counters and stat-decay routines).
As a consequence of the complexity, it's somewhat difficult to cheat. For instance: you can easily find the "Energy" stat and lock it at 5, allowing you to perform more actions per day. Even with full Energy, though, overexertion still seems to cause harm to Health and Mood. More relevant to cheating is the fact that the QSP is object-oriented and uses JavaScript-style custom properties (JIT allocation). The structure of variable memory therefore reflects the order in which each variables was initially invoked by the code. Sometimes you get nice dense blocks, but usually not:
You must be registered to see the links
Attributes are found in closely-bound blocks, but skills are more spread-out.
The allocation of male skills is much worse.

The player's rank in the "fighter" skill is sandwiched between
two blocks of memory involving urination. Ewwwww.
"Mood" isn't a traditional variable - it's a computed
sum of all the positive and negative things that have happened to a character recently. You can review some of these factors by reading your Diary, or by asking the girl how she feels (the assistant also has a Mood variable, but it doesn't appear in the GUI and barely appears in the code - presumably it's an unfinished feature). Style, Exoticness, and Fame are also computed. I don't know of any way to review all of the contributing factors behind them, but the result is pretty intuitive (e.g. need style? buy some accessories!). The visible sexual skills are also composite (e.g. "Penetration" is the average of vaginal, anal, fisting, and gaping).
It's currently possible to upgrade a girl to S+ Rank with crude cheats, but I'd like to isolate more of the sub-factors. This is a partial workaround for the remaining Russian text - I don't understand the event that just occured, but I can look at the cheat table and see that the "Alien embryo" countdown has begun, so that it ends with a clinic visit instead of a dead girl.

Good news
My incomplete cheat table works with the original Russian version as well as the translation. Therefore, I can tentatively conclude that it will continue to work with
future versions of the translation. Assuming that everything works properly, you could "export" your stats and some of your progress via the cheat table (or, for the sake of convenience, a trainer application), upgrade to the latest translated .qsp file (which invalidates your Saved game), start a new game, and then "import" the stats from the trainer.
This would not be a perfect process. You'd need to buy or rescue a new girl before importing, so she'll have a different history and appearance (I can probably export/import the girl's Name and stuff like "Scars" or "Virgin"). You'd probably need to buy and decorate a new house. But you'd be able to copy-paste your prior stats and skills, and you'd also have access to trainer functions (e.g. "click here for 5000 sparks") to ease the transition.
Question: is anyone willing to volunteer as a tester? Experience with Cheat Engine is prefered but not strictly necessary.

Two complaints:

Finally - a big
